Positivity, am I right?

Lately, I have been on a positivity kick. And it is kinda fun! So here is a list of ways for you guys to also spread the good feels and positivity and all that good stuff!

1. Smile.

Smiles, like yawns, are contagious. But unlike yawns, they brighten everyone's mood.

2. Laugh.

Laughter, such as yawns and smiles, are also contagious. And who cares if you have a weird laugh! It makes it that more infectious.

3. Compliment strangers.

Dude, if I see a girl rocking a cute outfit or a guy's eyebrows are on point, I cannot go without complimenting them! It is the best feeling. You don't know them, but they will always remember that compliment.

4. Say hi to everyone.

This is an awesome way to start the day. Not just yours, but everyone you see! Just a small greeting can brighten someone's day. Plus, it is a great exercise to break out of your shell!

5. Help lost people.

If you see someone lost or confused, go help them! They're going to be flustered and stressed. Lending a helping hand can do wonders. If you were in their position, wouldn't you want someone to come help you?

6. Make small talk with strangers.

Take the chance. Get to know someone. Make a new friend. Let someone know that they are worth the conversation.

7. Carry spare change or extra cash.

THIS. You have no idea how important this one is and can be. Nobody wants to go through the shameful "rummaging through the wallet" moment to find enough money for lunch. I have been there. It is not a great feeling. If you see someone who is struggling, offer to cover their meal. It'll make their day and it won't be a moment to forget. For the both of you.

8. Sit with a lone stranger for lunch.

Sure eating lunch by yourself can be relaxing. However, if you take the initiative to eat with someone new, it will be life changing! I remember there were days that I wouldn't eat lunch because all my friends were too busy and I didn't want to sit alone. Beat the stigma of eating alone and go sit with a stranger. Make a friend.

9. Be nice to everyone.

Seriously. Do I have to explain? Don't be dumb and a jerk. Words hurt!

10. Write a note.

Just write an anonymous note, wishing for someone to have a great day, reminding them that they matter, or a compliment on their smile.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
